TEXT

1. EC: We have the body here; this we have had before. The body is very good, as we find, in the general. There are still those conditions that affect from the activities of the liver and from those conditions in the upper cervical area and those in the lower lumbar area, as has been indicated, that - through the position and activities of the body - at times cause those reactions.
2. More recently it has been from those congestions and from the breathing exercises with the poisons in the system. These tend to make for accumulations about the throat and tonsil area again. The breathing exercises are proper for these, but not just these characters as taken - for this condition.
3. The breathing exercises for this should be STOOPING, taking IN the breath as the body goes down, see? exhaling - raising the arms, of course, as if flying - exhaling as the body rises again, see? This changes the circulation entirely. There may be set a mode of circulation through the breathing exercises for almost any type of condition, see; but for throat, don't rush the blood to it when it's already poisoned and poisoning the rest of the system! Take it away from it!
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) Should I continue the pedaling exercise?
   (A) Continue the pedaling exercise. And some of those changes also by the treatments, you see, in the lumbar and in the cervical and upper dorsal areas. Three or four of these will be helpful. [Osteopathic treatments]
6. We are through with this reading.

BACKGROUND

1. 2/28/35 She obtained 288-39 for severe lumbago or neuralgia of lower spine, caused from settling of tonsil poisons, etc.
2. 4/05/35 She requested relief from tonsillitis and especially for inability to breathe properly; nostrils stuffy and not coordinating properly. "I wonder if a Yoga breathing exercise to clear the head, given to Mrs. [903] in meditation class by Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind, had anything to do with this? I tried this exercise only twice, at one sitting, at Mrs. [903]'s insistence, on the morning of 3/31/35. My breathing has not been proper since. It is as if my two nostrils do not coordinate in their breathing."

REPORTS

1. 5/16/36 She obtained 288-41 for liver upset, reporting: "Not until recently did the nose condition clear up so that I could breathe properly - just from taking those Yoga exercises; felt always as if two nostrils did not coordinate in their breathing. It is wonderful to be able to breathe properly again!"
2. 5/26/38 She reported: "The nose condition returned off and on, whenever I'd get a cold or get upset in any way. Being consistent with my diet, exercise, etc., as given in my readings, is the only way to keep it from coming back. I think it has cleared entirely now, for my nose feels perfectly normal for the first time in three years."
3. 2/06/39 She obtained Ck. Physical 288-44 for terribly stopped up nose, not being able to lie down all night; had to stay propped up on a pillow in order to breathe. The reading indicated the condition was caused by her mental attitude, at that particular time.
